Welcome to the Sizzix Fresh Vintage Blog Hop!! I am so excited to be working with The Twinery and Sizzix's very own Eileen Hull for this blog hop!
There are 60 designers participating in this hop using 12 different dies! Isn't that fun! Here is how the blog hop is set up:

•Did you miss a day or miss a week? Don’t worry, just visit the “FAQ” section at the bottom of this post for more info!
Don't forget to visit Oh My Crafts for a chance to WIN this die!!
The die that I am using for this project today is the Sizzix Scoreboards Bird Die !
The Twinery Twine I used :
Now let's take a look at the projects! I decided I wanted to try the die on wool felt and make some cute handmade Christmas ornaments for my children.
Since wool felt can be a little pricey, I measured just enough to cut a bird, for 3 of them. I ran it through with a double layer and took it right to my sewing machine. I left a small opening for the fiberfill and then stitched to close . The pink bird... I added wings and vintage buttons.
The brown one got a pinback. It is a festive touch on a sweater!
The little jingle bells were from a local craft store. They are the perfect size & colors. I love the marschino twine...it looks great with these adorable birds!
There is so much you can do with the bird die! I thought it would be a fun package topper too!
Some other ideas I had: Hair clippie, Magnets, Napkin ring holder, Cupcake toppers!!
Be sure to click on the Sizzix Fresh Vintage icon (below or on my side bar) to see what the other designers have done with the Bird die! You are in for a treat!
Thanks for visiting!

Caroline- I love these cut from felt! What a cute batch of projects- now I have to get at my sewing machine! Thank you so much for joining us on this hop. Your work is beautiful!
Super! These birds are fabulous! I could see a whole little tree done with different birds. Very inspiring!
What beautiful ornaments and I love your use of buttons. Wool felt is one of the most versatile things to work with!

These are so pretty cut from wool felt, and I love how you embellished each bird differently. Gorgeous as ornaments, mobiles, package toppers, etc.
Those little birds you created are so cute! I love the little guy on the present.
I love your felt birds - they are lovely!
Very chic and so expertly crafted, Caroline. I adore each and every one!
I WILL be making these! Love them!
Beautiful Caroline!
So, so cute! Who would have thought, felt???
I didn't think of felt but I'm glad you did! So pretty and easier than cutting out a bunch of ornaments with a pattern and scissors. Your designs are great! Thanks for sharing.
I am so in love with your felt birds. They remind me of some vintage ones my mom had back in the 50s. I need to make these.
These are so sweet. The bird looks fabulous made from felt. I love all your ideas!
Love this idea. Thank you for sharing.
